Can anyone suggest the best (fastest/efficient) method for modifying the behavior of a hardware key press based on which app has focus and also if a menu has been opened?
I'm looking to change the action of DPAD UP/DOWN to Volume UP/DOWN if certain apps have focus but then change it back if a menu is opened in the app or if focus moves somewhere the mod is not required (i.e. launcher).
The device in question runs Gingerbread if that makes a difference.
TIA

Is there any software out there right now that can remap the hardware keys easily so that when a key is pressed the applications on the device think it's another key? (for example, holding the Volume Down key makes applications think you're holding down the * key on a phone keypad).
Therefore I can use it to map *, 8, 6, 9, 1 and 0 keys onto a phone without a keypad and play games that require more than the 4 direcitonal keys and center key.
So annoying knowing that you have hardware keys that aren't being used by the game but you don't have the keys the game needs... (yes, no, volume up, volume down, gps and browser key... enough to play the game... though not the keys that game wants)
SortInchKey... it's kinda hard to setup, but it will do what you need....good luck
Can you share how you can set it up? I am looking for this but totally confused by the screen.
Take a look at this one....should serve your purpose.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well the best way in my experience is to use resco registry editor, for example i change my left soft key to "new sms" so when i click it it pops open a new sms message window, look into that if you'd like
Also make sure you check out my dedicated bible in the Wiki.

Hi all,
Is there an application out there that let's me assign all the hardware buttons on the TD2 to various applications? For instance, it really bothers me that I only have a software button to take pictures and videos with (because sometimes I turn the phone around to have myself in the frame, try to hit that touchscreen button then!). It would be nice when in camera mode I can assign for instance the return button to act as the shutter button. In another application I can assign the buttons for other tasks then.
In short, is it possible to use the hardware buttons for different tasks in different applications (for example the already given example of the return button acting as the shutter button in camera mode, but in the browser you can assign the return button to act as the "back" key).
It would make using the TD2 SO MUCH easier!
Try SPB Pocket Plus.
Then go to |START|SETTINGS|PERSONAL|BUTTONS|. You should be able to assign just about anything to a HW key or a long press on a HW key.
HButton.
Freeware, works great!

Hi all,
I am trying to remap my Raphael mute button (in the phone application) to a hardware key such as the back button using tarkims button config application. Does anyone have a list of think is classes? I need to see the correct way to identity the mute class to assign it to the hardware button.
somebody knows app that can assign action like -launch application or kill foreground window process to hardware keys combination ?
for example if i press volume down 3 time fast and one slow or any other configurable like volume down + home - it will do something i want like kill process or launch file ?
for android phones
Try this, there are similar apps at the bottom of the page.

So coming from gingerbread, I noticed a distinct lack of voice actions shortcuts. I have the ATT Samsung Galaxy S 2, which is currently experiencing a speed bump in kernel development. Consequently, I use the ics virtual buttons. Now, in Gingerbread, by holding the search key, I could activate voice actions from anywhere. I cannot do this in ics, because there is no search button on the virtual buttons. Instead, one must go to the home screen and launch it from the permanent search bar
So I propose this to the xda community: a voice actions key in the virtual buttons. It could just be a little mic silhouette, like the home button is a house silhouette. I know that there is a mod that makes a permanent search key in the virtual buttons, but I can't get it to work, so I don't know if a long press starts voice actions.
Is this possible or feasible?
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread
hopefully cm9 adds a way to customize software buttons
